100k is nothing on an LS1. I was dogging mine at the track with more miles than that on it a few years ago. I'm at 150k now and still going.

Bout fucking time. Your last LS1 was fucking sweet, although I never saw the STI. Good motor as far as I've heard, you shouldn't have many problems (except the run-of-the-mill "its normal for your car to lose a quart of oil per month" problems with GM)
